What's it like on board a nuclear submarine? BBC News

Ever wondered what it would be like to spend months underwater with no access to the outside world? That is the reality for those that crew Britain's Vanguard-class submarines, home to the country's nuclear weapons. The BBC's Sarah Smith went to meet Britain's submariners, and found some very ordinary aspects of everyday life alongside the nuclear warheads.

Dull ???

HaH !!

Don't you believe it.

Submariners work daily long hours at maintenance, performing diligent watch standing duties, and training to be the best in the business.

They are too quick to show a launch, especially when the UK haven't been able to successfully launch anything for around 10 years

two minutes sailors saying. "this sucks soooo much!"

Our at sea nuclear deterrent looks good, God bless our fighting men and women. A strong soul stands strong and firm not because of its nature because it is tested.

imagine being a reporter having access to a nuclear submarine costing hundreds of millions of pounds then wasting the opportunity by making a shitty 2 minute video on it. WASTE of an opportunity just like the BBC wastes the license fee.

Does she call it nuclear because of its propulsion? Or because of what it carries. I get the impression she's confused on what nuclear submarine means.
